Trew Chocolate

Crafted with Purpose, Savored with Joy

From a home kitchen to a purpose-driven delight—experience chocolates that not only taste exceptional but also make a meaningful impact.

How it Started

Phil Lifsey's journey into chocolate-making began with a simple curiosity in his kitchen. Through experimenting with select ingredients, he crafted a unique chocolate using refined coconut oil—chosen specifically for its ability to create an ultra-smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture without imparting any coconut flavor.

More Than Chocolate

As Phil began to share his chocolate with family and friends, his family faced a three-year battle with a major health issue. In this journey, their family discovered a deepened faith.

In this three-year journey, Phil also made hundreds of batches of chocolate, sharing boxes with doctors, nurses, hospital staff, pharmacy personnel, and occasionally family and friends.  These boxes were Phil’s love language for the many who stood steadfast with them during this journey.

Today, you will see Phil smile should he see you experiencing chocolate as it should be.  Just put a piece of Trew Chocolate in your mouth, let it slowly melt, and savor the exploding flavors.

Indeed, during this journey, many told Phil “This is the best chocolate I have ever had”.  Many also said “You need to sell this.  Others should experience this taste as well.”

So Trew* Chocolate is born, and the company begins.

*A footnote regarding the company name.  Trew is a Welch family name within Phil’s lineage. And an appropriate homonym … for Trew Chocolate is True Chocolate.

What Makes Trew Chocolate Special

Innovative Molding for a Unique Experience

Our chocolates are crafted using a distinctive molding process, resulting in perfectly portioned, one-bite pieces that deliver a delightful "chocolate explosion" with every bite.

Crafted with Refined Coconut Oil

We use refined coconut oil to achieve a silky-smooth texture without any coconut flavor, ensuring the rich taste of our chocolate shines through.

Handcrafted in Small Batches

Each batch is meticulously made by hand, reflecting our commitment to quality and attention to detail.

Best Enjoyed Chilled

Our chocolates are designed to be savored straight from the refrigerator, offering a cool and satisfying experience. Since coconut oil melts at 76 degrees, our chocolates must be refrigerated.

Pure, Quality Ingredients

We prioritize simplicity and purity, using only high-quality chocolate and natural ingredients without unnecessary additives.
